STUDY GUIDE
,1. Some 480,000 immigrants were living in a certain country in
1999. Although
most of these immigrants were not employed in professional
occupations, many of them were. For instance, many of them
were engineers and many of them were nurses. Very few of
these immigrants were librarians, another professional
occupation. From the information given above, it can validly
concluded that, in 1999, in the country described above:
A) Most immigrants were either engineers or nurses
B) It is not the case that some of the nurses were immigrants
C) None of the engineers were immigrants
D) Some of the engineers were immigrants: D) Some of the engineers
were immigrants
2. A trucking company can act as a 'common carrier' - for hire
to the general public at published rates. As a common carrier,
,the trucking company is liable for any cargo damage, unless
the company can show that it was not negligent. If the
company can demonstrate that it was not negligent, then it is
not liable for cargo damage. In contrast, a 'contract carrier' ( a
trucking company hired by a shipper under a specific
contract) is only responsible for cargo damage spelled out in
the contract. A Claus Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under common
carrier authority, was in a 5-vehivle accident that damaged its
cargo. A Nichlos Inc. tractor-trailer, acting under contract
carrier authority, was involved in the same accident, and its
cargo was also damaged. From the information given above, it
can be validly concluded that, in reference to the accident:
A) If Claus Inc. is liable, then it can show that it was not
negligent
B) If Claus Inc. cannot show that it was not negligent, then it is
not liable
, C) If Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is
not liable
D) If Nichols Inc. is liable, then it cannot show that it is
negligent: C) If Claus Inc. can show that it was not negligent, then it is not liable
3. A rapidly changing technical environment in government is
promoting greater reliance on electronic mail (e-mail) systems.
As this usage grows, there are increasing chances of conflict
between the users' expectations of privacy and public access
rights. In some investigation, access to ALL e-mail, including
those messages stored in archival files and messages outside
the scope of
the investigation, has been sought and granted. In spite of
this, some people send messages through e-mail that would
never be said face-to-face or written formally.
From the information given above, it CANNOT be validly
concluded that:
